Abstract
The objectives of oil and gas produced water treatment include meeting discharge regulations (local, state and federal), reusing treated produced water in oil and gas operations, developing agricultural water uses, rangeland restoration, cattle and animal drinking water, water for human consumption, and meeting water quality requirements for miscellaneous beneficial uses. Current produced water technologies and their successful applications have advantages and disadvantages and can be ranked on the basis of those factors. This paper attempts to describe, summarize and analyze various produced water treatment systems developed by oil and gas producers, research organizations, water treatment service companies, and universities. Treatment technologies, furthermore, have applicability to different kinds of produced water from strong brines to brackish waters.
